Nomad owners..Ponder on this..humm..

[vv0350]

I have climbed all over/under the new 02 Nomad that I bought last month...and I have a question about the tail pipe area...you know the area just in front of the left tail pipe where it makes a right angle turn out of the catalytic converter box and goes to the muffler..there is an area there that is just wide open...you can see the converter clearly from the side of the bike..BUT, if you look closely, there are BOLT HOLES, I believe three of them, spaced around and in front of this vacant area...It would seem that there may be a bolt in cover for this open area..or other versions of the Vulcan may have a cover for this area whereas there is no left tailpipe to deal with...any ideas...??
